"Don't worry brother, we have plenty of time to prepare properly for the monster stampedes!" said Shen Lu as he chuckled out.
Listening to the surrounding whispers, he knew that his plan had worked perfectly. In the next few days, people would be applying to become Duan Li's followers like a flood!
"Duan Li, now that we have formed a party together, as a Lord cla.s.s, you are ent.i.tled to purchase a residence court!" Xiahou Yu by the side said casually.
"Residence court? That sounds like a good idea! The surrounding spiritual Qi within its court are always nurtured by special runic formations. Too bad that a residence court is extremely expensive, even if it were to only house 10 people, we would not be able to afford it..." said Shen Lu as he sighed.
Residence court? Expensive?
"Hmm... if what you guys had said is true, and that it would be beneficial for our cultivation, then it would be of utmost importance for us to purchase one! Let me see if I can make a deal on this, so just leave this one to me!" Duan Li replied confidently.
With the mountain-like treasure stash that he had collected from the Eternal maze of the first region, there were so many valuables inside his spatial ring right now that he couldn't possible count their total values!
Walking up to a portable vending machine inside the cafeteria, Duan Li brought a few blue jade slips that cost him 10 low quality spirit stones each for communication purposes. He then handed down one blue jade slip to each of them respectively.
"I will have to go now and see if I could purchase a residence court for us. Meanwhile Shen Lu, I leave the recruiting planning and method to you, and when I could find ourselves a suitable residence court, I would inform you guys through the blue jade slips!" said Duan Li.
"Sure brother! Leave it to me! By the time you found a residence court for us to live in, we would have the plan ready to be carried out with a single command of yours!" Shen Lu replied confidently as he nodded.
Inwardly, he was actually quite surprised and had not expected that Duan Li would have the money to buy a residence court. But by the sound of it, the latter seemed to have some deep financial resources to him.
This was truly weird for Shen Lu, because when he did a background check onto Duan Li before, he had found out that although Duan Li's mother was the famous Meng Yue, their way of life was humble and they were not rich.
Could it be that they actually had a very deep inheritance that they never used before?
Either way, what was most important for him to know was that, he hadn't made the wrong decision to follow Duan Li!
Just with this evidence alone, had outlined that Duan Li could really provide them with an immense amount of benefits!
Duan Li then left them on their own as they started their discussion. Meanwhile, he was now heading back to the Princ.i.p.al's office.
...
Knock! Knock!
"Princ.i.p.al, I am here to purchase a residence court! Could you help me with this?" asked Duan Li as soon as he entered the room.
"Eh? A residence court? You do know that those are quite expensive right? Unless you were the son of a rich family, I don't see how you could own one. Even with my authority, I wouldn't be able to bend the prices for you. After all, those lands were owned by the empire!" the princ.i.p.al answered as he shook his head.
Hearing this, Duan Li realized that the princ.i.p.al had misunderstood him. Thus, he tried to explain to the princ.i.p.al.
"It's not like that, during my adventure in the Eternal maze before, I was lucky enough to discover a treasure trove! I'm sure I could buy a simple residence court with it!" said Duan Li as he whipped out a large spirit stone that hummed brightly with blue colours from his spatial ring.
Seeing this big, shiny object that was put on his desk, the princ.i.p.al gasped as he stood up subconsciously. He couldn't believe what he was seeing!
"T-this! This is a superior grade spirit stone! Not to mention that you could definitely buy any residence court with this one, the academy wouldn't even have enough to pay you the remainder!" exclaimed the princ.i.p.al as he swallowed his saliva.
In fact, within the academy, only spirit stones was accepted as the currency for official exchanges. There are 5 types of spirit stones altogether; inferior spirit stones, low quality spirit stones, medium quality spirit stones, high quality spirit stones and superior quality spirit stones!
Normally, people would only use the inferior and low quality spirit stones to make small purchases and medium quality spirit stones for business transactions. For those corporate levels, they would use several high quality spirit stones as well.
However, rarely does anyone uses superior quality spirit stones to make a transaction! This was because its value alone was extremely astronomical!
A single one would already be enough to buy a small region in the empire!
"How about this, you should buy the whole 30 residence court that the academy has, and we will put them under your name. If anyone wanted to purchase them, we would handle all the transaction process for a small fee and the rest would be delivered to you!" the princ.i.p.al suggested as he made a rough calculation.
"The whole 30 residence court? How much do they cost?" exclaimed Duan Li, shocked that the value of the superior quality spirit stone would be so much.
In his memories, he had only owned up until the high quality spirit stones. He knew that a superior quality spirit stones was more valuable, but he never expected that a single one was enough to buy the whole residence court!
Not to mention that he had several hundreds if not thousands of these inside his spatial ring right now!
I have strucked it rich overnight!
"Eh... to be honest with you, even if you purchased the whole 30 residence courts, that would only be about two thirds of the value of this superior quality spirit stone. I will have to apply for you the black-gold master card and put the remainder as your credit points instead." replied the princ.i.p.al as he rubbed his forehead.
The black-gold master card was a symbol of status for the extremely rich people in the Jiu empire. Although, the number of credit points was actually the total amount of debt that the empire has with a card holder!
As long as an a.s.set was owned by the empire, a card holder that wished to purchase it must use their black-gold master card until it reached 0 credit points.
Only then, would they be able to use spirit stones to purchase once more. This way, not only would the empire did not have to pay these card holder with spirit stones for its debt, the empire could also raise the values of their a.s.sets higher so that they could benefit from any purchases made by these card holders!
In a way, this process was similar to a mortgage, except with benefits in the end!
Of course, some influential figures have filed their complaints against this system before, but when the empire replied them that "No amount of losses was too much for the rich", somehow, these people instantly became fine with it!
This was because, the black-gold master card itself has a deterring values where they can show-off to people that they are far more wealthy than the other. Thus, these filthy rich people are now racing to increase their credit points instead without even bothering to decrease it for the sake of proving themselves to the others.
How? By sponsoring the empire with its public spending! If the whole street lights required a single high quality spirit stone a month to maintain, these card holders would sponsor two to five high quality spirit stones a month in exchange for credit points!
There were also others who joined a co-venture corporate that bought some cheap empire-owned a.s.sets for an overpriced value, and distributing these costs among the card holders. Whoever paid the most, will get the larger cut of credit points!
Therefore, the empire has instead acc.u.mulated a lot of free money from these groups of people, and the trend was still ongoing as well as the empire had become more intelligent to push this culture forward, by holding frequent lucky draw for a certain range of credit points. The winner would then receive some more credit points that could elevate their total value to reach a new range of credit points to partic.i.p.ate in another lucky draw!
Because of this, the empire remained far more wealthy than the card holder themselves. Thus, even if all these card holders wanted to reimburse back their credit points into spirit stones, the empire would still remain on the top of the most wealthiest chart!
"Hmm okay, that would be fine too! I'll pick the largest residence court to live with my followers from now on." said Duan Li as he pointed towards the most expensive residence court on the book tablet that the princ.i.p.al showed to him.
The princ.i.p.al nodded as he took out an application form for Duan Li to fill in. After a while, Duan Li had finally finished all the proper official procedure and was handed the key for the house by the princ.i.p.al.
Now, he could move in whenever he wanted.
"h.e.l.lo guys, this is me Duan Li, let us meet up in two hours in this location that I gave you. Make sure to bring all your belongings along as well. From now on, we will be living the residence court!" said Duan Li as he used the blue jade slips to pa.s.s his message onto Shen Lu and the rest.
Exitting the room with smiles all over him, Duan Li was contemplating for what his next step should be while walking along the corridor, before a voice shouted out to him from behind.
"Stop right there!"
Eh?
This haughty voice sounded familiar...
